Hi, While doing some tests/research on secret operators, I stumbled upon this one in my one-liners: ~~<> Obviously, this should be named "the sperm operator". It's only useful in list context. Just like sperm cells work better when there are many of them. ;-) Now, if you want to get a number from that line you just read, you could use this variation: ~~<>+0 which we could name the fertilisation, conception, fecundation or syngamy operator, except the flagella (~~) has become useless, since the +0 operator (ovum?) already provides scalar context. So it's just the same as <>+0. I have no idea if this operator is really new, or if someone else found and named it already before today. My Google-fu is too weak to make useful searches on it. -- Philippe Bruhat (BooK) No matter who you may be, there is always someone who is a little worse because he thinks he is a little better.
